You need a 'shift converter box'. Keep an eye on ebay. They come up frequently and they don't cost much This mounts on the inside of the transom, above the motor.<br /><br />You need a new shifter/throttle assy. with cable. The new cable connects to the 'shift converter. I can give you a number of a guy to call in AZ that might have it all.<br /><br />You also have to enlarge the hole thru the intermediate housing, where the shift cable comes thru. The OD shift cable is bigger diameter than the 'electric cable'. You'll just need to seal it up with some good sealant. The cable on your 'new unit' should have a sleeve on it where it runs thru the IM housing.<br /><br />budda bing, budda boom. You're off and running. You will probably need a manual to set up the shift converter.
Not sure of the different profile mech shift units choices. I can give you a tel number to call and ask. I would definitely assume that you would need to match the dimensions. A shorter leg would not do.
<br /><br />You not only changed your outdrive, you changed your motor and thereby the generation of intermediate housing.<br /><br />Shane is just wanting to change the outdrive. He can keep his original intermediate housing and thereby the original boot. The only issue he needs to deal with is whether the 800 drive is the same length as his electric drive. <br /><br />so, if he has a short, low pro electric, he can do it?<br /><br />(I am pretty sure there was never a high profile mechanical shift)<br /><br />Also he would have to have trucourse steering on his old electric, no?<br />did the early intermediates have tru course and low profile?<br /><br />I'll go to bed now before I stir this thread into some complex thing it doesn't need to be... haha
